Day 1 of LL- Who's the real father of...


⟳  πŸŒ Since I was little, my dream was to travel around the world.  πŸŒŽ ⟲

πŸŒ’πŸŒ“πŸŒ”πŸŒ–πŸŒ—πŸŒ˜

I always thought about how breathtaking it would be if I can travel to all corners of the world and see all the famous landmarks with my very own eyes. But as I grew older, I realized we often only think of landmarks as a tour site that we must visit, but why can't we charge our mindset and put ourselves in their shoes? That they have their own life and story to tell too! So here in this blog, I will explore on various landmark's life and find the answers to see if these questions with you guys!

If I say “Paris”, what instantly came to your mind? I bet It’s the well known building that all tourists will go to no matter how little time they have at France. As a matter of fact, It's one of my favourite landmarks out of all! But you can probably guess by now, Day one of LL would be spent talking about... the city of light's  representative, The Eiffel tower!

The Eiffel tower was born because of the Exposition Universelle, or the World’s Fair in 1889, which was the festival in which celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the French revolution.I discovered a designing competition was held to appoint a designer to be in charge of a project which was to build an architecture in the middle of Paris, at Champ de Mars. Alexandre Gustave, a civil engineer and architect, won and was later given the title of "father of the Eiffel Tower". Think about it, back then, who would have known this statue would end up being a symbol of France years later?

As I mentioned before, Alexandre Gustave was technically the father of the , but is that really true? The answer is n and o, NO.
🚨P.S. , I love his pose🚨
It was actually his coworker, Maurice Koechlin, who created this structure. Each detail of the tower was came up by him, so he was the true father. When I did my research, I was astonished. It instantly reminded me of when the truth of who's the real parents of the protagonist is revealed in movies. By the way, there's usually a “dun, dun, dun, DUN” sound too. Haha. Good thing Eiffel tower isn't a human, or else I don't know if it can handle it after hearing this news.

 Since this is the first official post of Landmarks Life, the introduction was a bit long. I'm so sorry about that and I promise it won't happen again in future posts. And that's for today, see you guys soon. Peace out!πŸ‘‹

Day 11 of LL- Blue, white, blue, white, blue 。。。

Image
What type of words would pop up in your mind if I say the word “Greece”? You might say words like blue, beautiful, pure white, and perhaps, even Santorini Oia Church panorama. That would probably be the same for me because Greece is honestly a very beautiful country with buildings that are so unique that it seems to be hand-made by God and his angels. They have amazing buildings painted with navy blue and white that have become one of the icon and symbol of Greece, and one of their most amazing building is the Santorini Oia Church panorama. ⃣πŸ’­πŸ’™πŸ’­ πŸ’­πŸ’™πŸ’­ ⃣ Santorini Oia Church panorama is a landmark in Oia, a small town in Greece, that have attracted many tourists to visit since the time it was built. To be honest, if I got the chance to visit anywhere I want, this church will certainly be at the top of my list. Not only that, but blue domed churches are also a great place to hold weddings. The blue and white colours would match wedding dresses! IT'S TOO PRETTY S

Day 10 of LL-こんにけは!🌸

Image
こんにけは! It has been nearly two months since I last published a blog, and if you would recall, my two previous blogs were about a temple in Japan called Kiyomizu-Dera. In part one of this series, I talked about its history and legends behind how this temple was created. In part two, the various features and facilities were described. Now you may think this topic is getting boring, but actually there are still a one more thing I want to share with you guys. 🌸🌸🌸 The feature I want to talk about today is the Otowa Waterfall. The stone fence around the waterfall prevents visitors from accidently falling into pond. Although the pond is not deep, but there a danger of serious injury if anyone falls in it. It is located at the base of the main hall and there, you will see a little shelter with water falling down from the top of the roof. The water are separated into three distinct streams, and they fall into a small pond that lies beneath them. Although they came from the same water s

Day 6 of LL- Faces important enough to be on a mountain

Image
In the United States of America, there is about 323.1 people as of 2016. There’s so many various faces, but there’s four specific faces that not only the citizens of the America, but also tourists from all around the world go to South Dakota go to see. These four faces belonged to the important people who were once a leader of the US. These large faces look over the country with their glowing, sculptured eyes. The carvers who have created this astonishing piece of monument was so skilled that the four presidents seemed as if they were alive. This sculptured hill is Mount Rushmore or more commonly known the President’s Mountain. You may think that the “Rushmore” in the name Mount Rushmore sounds a lot like a last name a person would have, but in fact, it actually was a person’s surname! The mountain was named after a New York lawyer, Charles E. Rushmore when he went on a trip to Black Hills in 1884 to inspect the mines in that area. He was curious of what the nearby mountain’s
